Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution
Correct answer: 'and'.
Explanation:
'and' joins words or phrases that are taken together. In this sentence, health and strength are being listed jointly.
'or' links alternatives or choices, which is not the intent here.
'but' introduces a contrast; there is no contrast in this sentence.
'nor' is used to add another negative statement after a negative and therefore does not fit here.
Grammar note: Because 'health' and 'strength' form a compound (plural) subject, use a plural verb: "Health and strength are above all gold."
